Viber


I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. It's a Viber call from Ate Sann, my sister who now lives in Japan. My sister gets to call us (me and my family) more often now, thanks to Viber.


It's my sister who suggested I get this app. She started using the app while she and her classmates were planning their class reunion last year. Facebook and Viber were their most common means of communication. 

Viber is way better than Skype and Facebook video. It's our new favorite app. 

When my sister was just starting her family in Japan, we communicated mostly through snail mails. Prohibitive phone calls are for real emergencies. Now, we can talk about anything for an hour without worrying about the cost. :)


Kare- kare

I had kare-kare for lunch. Yum! 
Digs, my brother,  sometimes cooks for his family on weekends. And it's always something special. 

What made it more special is that he never forgets to send us some.

Kare-kare is a family favorite. My mother cooks it on special occasions so this special dish brings many special memories.

So what does Viber and kare-kare have in common? Today, both of them got our family connected. And it will keep on doing so, until Viber gets replaced by a new and better technology. Kare-kare will always stay, I bet!
